JUNETEENTH 2022: It Takes a Village
The theme of JUNETEENTH is “It Takes a Village.” “It Takes a Village” is inspired by the concept of how villages form a community that cares for one another through various aspects of shared life like food, health, and education. We seek to celebrate and connect the Black community in Union through various thematic ‘villages.’
